Are you looking for a key finder similar to Apple’s AirTags that would work with your Android phone? We’ve got just the thing and it’s called a Chipolo Point!
We’ve all heard of Apple’s AirTags by now, and your first thought was probably ‘I could use a couple of those’.
But what if you’re an Android user and switching your Android phone for an iPhone is not something you’re willing to do?
What are AirTags and what do they do?
AirTags (and the Chipolo ONE Spot that also works with the Apple Find My app) are small round Bluetooth trackers that you can attach to your belongings to help you find them.
They connect to the Find My app on your iPhone and from there you can ring them or check their last known location on a map.
Do AirTags also work with Android phones?
The short answer is no.
Apple’s AirTags only connect to the Find My app on Apple devices, but the good news is AirTags are not the only item tracker available.
If you’re looking for an AirTag alternative that works on Android, take a look at Chipolo ONE Point finders that work with Google's Find My Device app.
Can Chipolo Point finders do what AirTag trackers do?
The main benefit of the AirTags is that they can help you find your things when they are misplaced or when they get lost.
Point finders work similarly by checking for your lost things through Google’s Find My Device network.
The primary functionality of both trackers is to quickly help you find your misplaced things nearby by making them ring. But they can also help you find lost things far away, with the help of other mobile phones in their network; Google’s Find My Device network for Android phones and Apple's Find My network for iPhones.
Both trackers also offer additional features like sharing your Chipolo with your loved ones, last known location displayed on a map in the app…
Share your Chipolo Point key finder through Google's Find My Device app
You can create your own little closed community and share your Chipolo tracking tag with your family and friends to make it easier to find your lost things.
A shared Chipolo will then connect to the Android phone that is closest and update the location information in the Find My Device app on all other Android devices the Chipolo is shared with.

Main Chipolo pros
Keys are not the only thing we lose. How many times have you looked for your TV remote this week?
Two different shapes
Chipolo Point and Chipolo Spot are available in two different models; a circular finder for your keys and a credit-card-shaped tracker for your wallet.
Loud ring
The Chipolo ONE Point key finder has a loud 120dB melody that you will be able to hear from another room and the Chipolo CARD Point has a 105 dB melody you'll pick up, no matter what pocket your wallet is hiding in.
A worldwide network ready to help you find your things
You don’t have to search alone, the Find My Device network is here to help. Android devices all over the world will work together to support you in finding your belongings.
Google Home will help you search too!
Your Nest speakers and displays at home can be part of your finding network too. Not sure if you lost your wallet or just forgot it at home? Chipolo Point can connect to Google devices at home and report their location through them.
Fits on your keyring
This one is anything but tech-related, but Chipolo Point finders for Android already have a hole you can use to attach the finder to your keys. No extra cost and no accessories – just take it out of the box and attach it to your things.
Durable materials
Another non-tech advantage is the material the Chipolo is made of. Smart finders are mostly used for your keys or other belongings you take with you every day. Which means they get moved, tossed around, dropped, and scratched on the regular. The plastic the Chipolo trackers are made of is durable and will have your tracking tag looking fresh even after a year of adventures in your pockets.
